Occidental Leather 8089 M OxyLights 7 Bag Framer Set

I bought my first set of Occidental pouches back in 1994 still use them today trust me theyre old and beat up but they are the best pouches I ever had I need new ones but I hesitate cuz of the price but I know this will be my last set of pouches ever

2 thumbs up

The brand speaks for itself! Its the reason I purchased this product!

Very comfortable

They are perfectly good for my trade

best investment

amazing, only issue was there isnt really a good place for my framing square

Ordered the bags and arrived beautiful, almost hesitant to wear them, real artwork...the problem is that I ordered based off their fit scale and got an XL...I need a L. I need to exchange the belt. I had to use the bags for work so I took the bags off the belt and used an old belt, keeping the XL belt like new so I can exchange it...I emailed Oxy and sent a message on their contact us page on their website over a week ago and still no reply...next step is to try to call during my break during normal business hours...but with time change and them only working till 3pm its hard to find time to call M-F because I work 12hr shifts M-F. Like I said, I love the bags, and proud they are made in USA...but come on...spend $300 on some canvas bags and I cant get a hold of anyone...if I knew this was going to be the case I would have just returned the entire set and reordered..customer service has been non existent and I guess I expected more from a premium brand here in the states. UPDATE: Evidently OCCIDENTAL isnt the seller here, its some other distributor, Occidental finally got back to me and said that they would exchange the XL belt to a Large belt for $25....I would have been better off returning the set that didnt fit and just ordering a Large belt set and avoided a $25 fee. This should be more clear when ordering on Amazon. Like I said, I like the bags but this entire experience has put a bad taste in my mouth....CAVEAT EMPTOR indeed....

Yes you can find cheaper belts, but you likely wont find better belts. Given that fact that youll likely only have to replace them once every decade or two (after using and heavily abusing them), its a very good buy. Super high quality, and they look good as well.

Great investment, delivery was quick, no complaints
